The Danish auction house Bruun Rasmussen can present art and antiques that tell us stories about the close connections between Russian and Danish culture. The auction at 3 pm on 2 December takes a long and interesting journey through history: from miniature portraits of the Russian Imperial family, through modern art made during the post-war period to unique antiques from Fabergé.
The Danish auction house, Bruun Rasmussen, can now present two rare portraits of the infamous Grigori Rasputin, where he personally sat as a model, at their upcoming Live Auction on 2 June in Copenhagen.
A genuine bidding war broke out in the saleroom on Wednesday 7 December when Bruun Rasmussen auctioned off exquisite gifts given from the Imperial Family to various Danes, among them kings and queens.
Bruun Rasmussen focuses in on art, antiques and jewellery from Russia at a Live Auction in Copenhagen on 10 June. The highlights include a number of art objects that truly lets you experience a piece of history and the strong Danish-Russian relations.
Bruun Rasmussen has just completed two weeks of international auctions in Copenhagen, where Russian art and antiques were distributed across a traditional auction on Friday 8 June and a subsequent online auction on Monday 11 June. The highest hammer price was achieved by a painting by Feodor Vasilievich Sychkov, which depicted life in a snow-covered Russian village in 1934.
Art and antiques from Russia have made quite a splash at Bruun Rasmussen’s auctions in recent years, and we have become one of Scandinavia's leading auction houses within this field. At this summer’s traditional auction in Copenhagen and a subsequent online auction we present a large selection of Russian art and antiques primarily from before the revolution in 1917.
In the wake of the successful auction this summer, where Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers in Copenhagen sold Russian icons for millions of Danish Kroner, we now follow up with another magnificent auction with art and antiques from Tsarist Russia. The most spectacular of these auction lots will be exhibited at the Danish Embassy in London on 27 and 28 November in connection with the Russian Art Week.
Bruun Rasmussen has since 1948 sold art, design, jewellery, wristwatches, antiques and collectibles such as wine, books, coins and stamps. As the leading auction house in Denmark, we sell over 75,000 items every year at our Online Auctions at bruun-rasmussen.dk and at Live Auctions at the auction house in Lyngby.
Our specialists are the most experienced and competent in the industry. The work in the auction house places great demands on our knowledge of art and trends on the market. This way, we can provide valuations and advice of the highest quality – which has become our trademark – and thereby offer the best lots from all categories and achieve high hammer prices for the benefit of our customers.
At Bruun Rasmussen, we are one of Europe's most modern and digital auction houses, and it is only natural for us to adapt to changes in the market. Innovation is part of our DNA, while we are also deeply rooted in our history.
In 2022, after having been family-owned through three generations, we became part of the international “Bonhams Network”, expanding our global reach and access to specialists all over the world. We strategically present and sell art where it makes the most sense in relation to potential buyers.
